Hi, I'm Bryan
I'm a senior web designer at Youtech with over three years in the field, and my roots are in UX. I studied cognitive science and user centered development at the University of Michigan, so I always start with the people who'll be using the site. Then comes the part I love: getting creative, making something new, and working through the problems along the way. I'm always looking to create memorable experiences for myself and the people around me.
Team
I'm part of a tight web team of about 10, inside a company of around 100. So I'm just as comfortable heads down with my own team as I am working across departments with project managers and everyone else who touches a project.
Growth
I'm always pushing to get better as a designer, whether that's a new tool or a better way to work. I've also managed a junior designer for over a year, and helping him grow into a promotion of his own has been one of the best parts of the job.
Platforms
WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, Wix, you name it. Whatever a project runs on, I'm comfortable in it, front end and back end, and I pick up new ones fast.
Selected work
Click into any project to see how it came together, from the first plan to launch day.
Some of these sites are now looked after by the client or another team, so they may have changed since launch.
Process
It always starts with the people who'll use the site, whether it's 10 pages or 200.
Who's using this, and what are they trying to get done? I look at the audience, the competition, and what the current site gets wrong.
Sitemap, page templates, and the path someone takes through the site, all sorted out before any visuals.
I go straight to full mockups in Figma, then we go back and forth until it feels right.
I build it in WordPress and Elementor with reusable templates, keeping it fast and accessible for everyone.
I test it on every screen size, launch it, and keep improving it afterward based on how people use it.

The Toolbox
If it builds websites, I've probably worked in it. These are the ones I reach for most.
A new project, a site that needs some love, or just a question about anything web related. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear about it.
